Do your boys just roll their eyes at you when you get in the "future" mode? I have a 5 year old that thinks I'm a crazy when I talk about girlfriends. I have a box of those "save for the grandbabies" and my dear hubby thinks I a nut. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

What a beautiful dress!! I used to drown in a mountain of laundry when my girls were younger. Now there's only one left most of the time so I add hers to mine to save on energy and water and she folds, great deal! Even though I don't get the crankies anymore I still need chocolate.....maybe that never leaves. I used to keep the pantry full of chocolate chips when all 4 girls were younger and home and now they hardly get used up. Enjoy your little ones time really flies....of course now i have 4 awesome girlfriends.

The best thing about grandbabies will be that you can spoil them to death and then give them back!!

Have the monthly crankies here too, eatin sugar cookie with sprinkles for dinner while locked in my room away from the kiddos...sprinkles make life beautiful.

I love to smock everything...getting ready to make smocked Easter Eggs soon. If you can cross stitch, you can smock...so go for it!!! A pullen pleater is the best...The Children's Corner has the best patterns on which to smock.

I just love your blog and have decided to come out of the "stalking closet"! hahah!! You are so fun and creative....thanks so much for sharing all of your ideas...the dress is adorable and perfect for a grand baby! :) Just better hope that your daughter in law won't hate you for saving it! :)

I love smocked dresses. I have a few in my collection. I think it's pretty darn cool how popular you are. It's even cooler to know you for real. Miss you. So if we buy a new house will you help me make it cute?

I've got a cedar chest full of sweet little girl (and little boy too) dresses and shoes waiting for grandbabies. Hopefully they will be in there for quite awhile though since oldest just got married and is not yet ready for babies and my other daughter is 17. My son is 8. We will have a few more years before most of them are ready for babies! But when they are, the little clothes are waiting!
